How Much Should You Raise at Idea Stage? Most founders either raise too little or too much. Here’s a simple mental model 👇 🔸 Don’t raise for 18 months You’re not scaling - you’re validating 🔸 Don’t raise based on “runway” Raise based on milestones that de-risk your next round What’s a smart range? In India, pre-seed rounds typically fall between ₹50L - ₹2Cr. Use that money to get to: a. MVP or first version b. First 100 users or early revenue c. Team of 2-3 people d. Basic market validation Raise just enough to unlock your next round - better story, stronger traction, and less dilution. If you're raising funds and need help, DM me.
